THE COMPLETE 2024 STRAY KIDS GUIDE [Pt 2] | BABY STAY REACTS

[@rendezvous18.6yyy]

about han! he moved to malaysia when he was 8/9 years old. he attended an elementary school there, but he didn’t adjust well at all which led to him eventually dropping out and being homeschooled. he returned to korea at 16 to complete his high school ged where he promised his parents that if he didnt get into an agency within a year, he would return to malaysia to study.

[@hunterashley-musicreact]

so he technically finished high school at 16? aw man!

[@DaddiesLittlePsycho]

Ok so... that was all a fabricated lie done by haters in order to hold him responsible for something he wasnt actually quilty of... long story! Point is, its not true. He was 7 years old when they moved to Malaysia. (He actually said 9, but he was talking with the Korean age system.) He was there for 6 years, then he moved back to Korea when he was 13 to graduate. (Yes, graduate.) He then got into JYPE. (Fun fsct, BangChan was ALSO really only 13 when he came to Korea. Hence why he has idol friends who have known him since he was in 6th grade....see! Oh how I love math. Lol) Always remember, anything that occured before the beginning of 2024 is done with the Korean age system in place. They don't correct those numbers to the international age system just because they are no longer correct.. or, ever correct. 😂 Hans birthday is in September, so that makes him +2 for basically everything pre 2024. He was homeschooled his whole life, he was 7 when they moved to Malaysia, he was 13 when he moved back, about 14 when he joined JYPE, and only about 17 years old at debuted. Yes, their debut ages are also technically incorrect. They were all much younger than everyone seems to think. They have been debuted for almost 6½ years... the man is only 23!! Lol

[@DaddiesLittlePsycho]

I love you stay, but the misinformation needs to stop for sweet Han already. Lol... He talked about all of this in the very Lee Mujin Episode mentioned in the video. Lol Perhaps all stay need to watch it.... He never went to school, ever. (It's literally why he had social anxiety. Which, he has been doing AMAZING in regard to! Man moved away, by himself, at 13 years old, and became an idol! Despite being homeschooled HIS WHOLE LIFE! He's a damn badass!! Lol) Also, he did not start learning English until he met BangChan. The reason he is better at it thay the others, is because he speaks Mayla. That's the language he learned whilst In Malaysia. And it's vocabulary and alphabet are stress-timed, like English. Whereas the Korean language is syllable-timed, hence why he's also great at Japanese. He's basically set up for any and all languages he wants to learn. The man is truly a genius when it comes to language and the written word. There's a very beautiful mind in that man. I'm not surprised he graduated at 13. Lol (Oh! By the way, he did not take his "GED"... They don't have that like other places do, not really. He would have been 15 in Korea, so he was old enough to take his final exams, JUST BARELY. Every student in Korea must take the same exams to graduate. It's just that most of them are 19 or 20 (18 in international age) before they do. Lol

[@LG_Lela]

41:40 If we talk about the guys' past, we have to touch on the topics of relatives and friends. But not everyone wants this. We know more or less about the past and families of Chan and Felix. Chan's sister is a famous blogger and singer, and his younger brother doesn't want publicity. Felix has two sisters who also don't really want anyone to interfere in their lives. Everyone else doesn't show their relatives because they could be in danger. Recently, someone leaked the address of Lee Know's parents and some fans went to their home. Therefore, it is quite understandable that the guys are worried about the safety and privacy of their relatives. There are fans who do strange and sometimes scary things towards their idols. Unfortunately, there have been precedents.

[@hunterashley-musicreact]

oh lord, someone leaked Lee Know's parent's house?? people are insaneeeee (and disgusting). i hope everyone was okay :)

27:22 This is a fanam where Hyunjin and several other idols covered Red Velvet's song - Psycho. This is a very iconic and popular fancam. At the moment, Hyunjin's solo fancam has 12M views! (The official video of this performance has 31M views so far and the Fancam of the entire performance has 4.5M)

[@hunterashley-musicreact]

oh jesus, that's insane! guess i'll be checking that out sooner or later

[@MikaylaStay2023]

Also if you think Hyunjins recruitment story was creepy then Felix's is gonna be fun to tell. So, I don't know if you know this, but Felix actually had a Facebook when he was younger. One day he got a dm from a random lady saying he would be perfect to be a JYP trainee. After that he was practicing dance at a dance academy (He's basically self taught other than some JYP training) and on of the teacher told him he should do the audition. So he went. A 17 yr old going from australia to South Korea because a woman who worked for JYP said he'd make a good trainee. My man has the survival skills of a peanut fr.

[@ke7615]

Little bit of incorrect info in this guide is that Changbin started rapping after joining JYP as a trainee. He actually started with dancing in high school, then started taking vocal lessons where his teacher suggested he try rapping, he then got really into rap and started experimenting with making his own tracks. THEN he auditioned and got into JYP with his rapping and tracks he made. Have fun with your skz journey :)

[@hunterashley-musicreact]

oh man, thanks for the info!! 🙏🏻

Prince Hwang Hyunjin is tall he’s the tallest member in skz

[@love4scotland]

Woot!! Yay, so excited to continue. Lets gooooo Edit: i cant wait for you to review Volcano. Its a solo song but you read the lyrics during his two kids room with Seungmin. Minnie wanted the song for himself but Han said it was too personal of a song and that he wanted to keep it for himself. It is my favorite song.

[@hunterashley-musicreact]

ooo!!! excited to hear it then!

[@mariacelcia2]

Just a hint with the FAM song it is also in age order as you may have noticed, but many people overlook that the next member introduces these current ie. Lee know introduced bang chan, changbin introduced lee know, hyunjin introduced changbin.... i think bang chan introduces I.N as there is no one after and it completes the circle/ counts as his part in the introductions.

[@hunterashley-musicreact]

oh yea i noticed it was in age order, but i didn't think about the members introducing the next one. that makes the song more meaningful 😭

[@Berrydoll16]

I don’t know if it’s mentioned here previously, but Changbin was also on a dance group when he was in high school. He’s actually a very talented dancer.

[@hunterashley-musicreact]

woah really??? i didn't know he was in a dance group! i need to check out some dance practices, it seems 👀

[@Berrydoll16]

@@hunterashley-musicreact I believe there is some old high school footage out there in the web of him in high school. Definitely make sure to give him some focus when you watch dance practices :)

Fun fact (maybe only for me): my birthday is on the same day like Chanbins birthday... I'm just a "little" bit older 😂 his growling angry voice is cracking me up every time . The recording sessions are hilariously af.. you definitely HAVE to watch "syray kids having fun while making music" on one point.... it's sooooooo funny

Han moved to Malaysia when he was 9 and then took his GED at 16 or 15 (international age) I think, then came to Korea be a trainee at JYP!

regarding a thing you mentioned in the outro: skz have multiple seasons of two kids room (and other variations of it) where two members are in a room together and just talk about anything including their childhood, trainee lives etc. ALSO: theres a petracha guide if you want to check that out + a guide to skz's siblings they're both super fun! can't wait for your reactions to some of jisungs songs, his songs are some of my favourite in skz' entire discography

[@chinmoyeesahari5343]

Hyunjin is tall he mentioned in his bubble that he's 183 cm now it's just that other members are short so new stays think he's also short but nah

[@hunterashley-musicreact]

he's so tall what

[@londynjoleigh]

Great reaction! I have thoroughly enjoyed both of your reactions to this guide, but because this guide lacks context, I thought I would answer some of the questions you had and then also fill in some gaps with fun facts that might add context to some of the information they gave you! - the clip of Changbin going “yoh” into the microphone: so “yoh” used to be Changbin’s rapper tag, basically at the beginning of every rap he did in the beginning of their career he said that before rapped or during his rap. sadly, we have been deprived of him doing that recently. I think he knows that his tone and style of rapping is recognizable on its own so he just doesn’t do that as much anymore. now it’s just more of an inside joke with the members and stay. but the clip is from a Vlive where Chan made a song during the live called “I can’t live without Seo Chanbin” and it is super funny! you can find a video that a stay edited of that Vlive, I think it’s called how Chan made “ I can’t live without Seo Changbin” on live or something. There’s a video that goes well with it. That is three men in colorful pants, which is where Changbin and Han guest on chan’s 100th episode of his live (“chanie’s room) where Han finishes the song and let me just say it has me rolling laughing every time I watch it! I highly recommend watching it and reacting to both if you have time! - You asked “ what center means” which is completely valid because you’re right. I remember is center at some point, because all of them have a part in the song. In K-pop being the center of your group, basically means that you are front and center for any “ killing points” and dance breaks. You’ll notice that Hyunjin is usually center at some point in a dance break usually the beginning, if not center for the whole thing. This can be confused with being the face of the group, and that title goes to Felix. They kind of share both positions. in the sense that Felix is also one of the members that is usually front and center for a dance break. But they are different things… I know it’s really confusing and I don’t feel like I’m explaining it very well. - You also mentioned that being street casted feels culty, and I can’t agree more. Kind of a fun fact, but TXT’s Beomgyu was street casted by his company and one of the main reasons he didn’t reach out to the scout that casted him was because he thought he was a creepy guy and possibly part of a cult,, and may have been trying to kidnap him. I think that’s kind of funny! But yeah, you’re totally right. It is really creepy and kind of predatory in a way, but it’s surprisingly common in K-pop which blows my mind. - Another fun fact, Hyunjin is a beautiful artist. But the only person he has ever gifted a piece of his art to is Felix. The other members have definitely asked for artwork from Hyunjin and he always says no with the reasoning that he is afraid that if he gives someone his art and they don’t like it, they won’t tell him to be nice and he doesn’t want to burden them with artwork that they don’t like. under that logic it’s kind of a mystery why Felix was the person he gifted art to. But yeah, the only person he has ever gifted his art to Felix for his birthday a couple years ago! (just to clarify that is to stay’s knowledge, so obviously, if there’s someone in his life that he doesn’t want people to know publicly that he’s given art to we wouldn’t know) - Another thing is I just wanna validate you feeling like hyunjin is so long/lanky. because I feel the same way until I remember that he is short relative to many other k-pop idols. To his credit, Hyunjin proportionally is a lot of legs and arms and neck with a relatively small torso. So he does have very long limbs and as a dancer, his lines are gorgeous. And he’s the tallest in stray kids so whenever they see him, he’s the tallest in the room. but when you see him around most other idols, he is short. It’s kind of like an optical illusion! - last lastly, just a short fun fact: Changbin and Han write a lot of each other’s raps. Especially recently now that we’ve gotten to see a lot more behind-the-scenes, we’ve seen that Han and Changbin write rap parts for each other in group songs! also most sad songs were majorly written by Han. He does often clarify like he did in for twilight on this album that he doesn’t always write about exactly how he feels. It’s more of the vibe that he was in at the moment. But like the guide says, sometimes he writes the saddest songs and is like “I had no idea where it came from.” anyways, like I said amazing reaction. I’m so excited that you’re becoming a stay and I can’t wait for your reaction to the rest of the guide! I am now going to go binge all of your other content!!!

No it's not, its Maylay. That's what Han learned in Malaysia. It's a stress-timed Language like English, but not at all English. They have MANY forms of it there too. Hand didn't learn English until he met Chan, its why he has gotten so good since debut too. He has a talent for languages, it's also why he's so good at Japanese. Han moved to Malaysia at 7 (international age) and he had been homeschooled his whole life, and moved back to Korea himself at 13 (aka 15 Korean age) where he took his final exams and graduated. He joined JYPE at almost 14, and then he debuted at 17 (19 via Korean age).

[@foxylady1692]

PROBABLY another LONG A$$ comment to fill in the blanks... They should have showed THE FULL clip with Changbin's "YOOO", cause Chan was laughing so much he had to hide from the camera at some point. He couldn't hold it. It was so freaking funny!!! Yeah, he wanted to become a singer. I don't remember if they show this clip here but he was on "Masked Singer" and he was absolutely incredible. The judges went absolutely insane for his voice. And then he started rapping seconds after singing, further shocking the judges. And absolutely everyone. People actually cried because of his voice and song choice. Now he has 176 song credits :) The one song you skipped is not a Stray Song just so you know. He did a collab with two Thai rappers, MILLI and F.HERO- MIRROR. It's an absolute banger!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the video where they repeat his Jutda thing, It's I.N., Yeonjun from TXT (BFF), Wooyoung from AREEZ(They're BFFs literally), and I.N. and Seungmin. Having a Chandelier in Korea is a really HUGE thing, that's why they reacted like they did. PLEASE watch *"Three Men in colorful pants"*. That's the video where he's shouting at Chan and Han is there too. It's the funniest thing that you'll ever see. And I don't ANY STAY that didn't watch this video or the whole live of it. I really have no words to describe the chaos going on in this video... MOVING ON TO PRINCE HYUNJIN Donatella Versace actually was the one who called him a price officially. Center means that he's usually in the center of choreo formations. OK, 2 things. 1. It's very common for Idols to be street casted based on their looks. Even if they don't have any knowledge whatsoever. The company has so many teachers and classes that it doesn't really matter (Jin from BTS was casted the same way) 2. The Cult thing is VERY true in Korea. There are really too many to count. So both your statements are VERY true. MOVING ON TO ACE HAN NOW! He's got 167 song credits. VOLCANO is Han's song. And is also a song to listen to on their channel. Not released. I mean seriously!!! Release their SKZ-RECORDER playlist, please!!!! They could fit 2 albums easily... Seungmin and Han sang VOLCANO together on "Two Kids Room" on the Stray Kids Channel. SECRET SECRET is a released song. When WOOJIN left (Nobody likes to talk about him for some reason because of falls rumors), Han received all of the hard lines when they distributed the lines. Woojin was the main vocalist at the time. FINALLY, I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH how talented he is. He is not called an ACE for no reason! You'll realize that soon!
